Great camp spot. Water and mountain views for $10/ night with Access Pass. Recommend filling with water before arrival. Closest with potable water was Burnt Corral Campground, same pass for school house works here (u.s.f.d.a. campgrounds). Dumpsters are available. Boat ramp was easily accessible.

If you have a boat it's a great place to setup camp. Shoreline fishing is not accessible due to trees. Campground Host Jim was amazing and friendly. Very informative. There is potable water near campground host. The view is amazing

I can't speak to all the amenities as I bring my trailer and use that. I go here each January and it is always nice and quiet. I would imagine it fills up when it warms up, but it's perfect for a winter getaway. It's right next to the boat ramp for easy access to the water.

A decent campground with semiclean and stocked pit toilets. Lots of shrubs and grasses overgrown except in tent and near drive areas. These have been weed whacked as well as some of the trails to the water. Pet owners beware of all the foxtails. No clear beach area or access for swimming. Small sandy area to either side of boat launch for snagging your fishing lines. Bass are visible in morning.lots of RVs, generator's, boats. Thursday night military helicopters were flying around, possibly training runs. NO water, so be prepared to bring your own to wash dishes or drink. General store is about 10 minutes away for ice, water and other necessities. Cold mornings and nice afternoons with a breeze around 3pm. Shade ramadas and some trees provide respite from the sun. Picnic tables are somewhat dirty but cleanable. Some dogs off leash,perhaps people are not aware of az leash laws. Saw some cardinals and a silky flycatcher ( Black cardinal)(rare)

If you’re looking for a spot to enjoy the lake views from the land, there are probably better spots along the waters edge, as the main feature here is the steep boat ramp; but if you do decide to walk down to the edge of the ramp there is a long floating dock and some great views. The water here is rather murky, but the area is very undisturbed and peaceful.

It was extreemly busy at the boat ramp on Saturday. But people were very pleasent. Didnt go to the campgrounds, too far from the water and too expensive for me.

Great little spot with a nice view of the lake. Only downfall was the difficulty getting to the lake other than near the boat ramp.

Management has let the campground perimeter natural growth go unattended - what was once a wonderful view of surrounding valleys and mountains is now obscured with brush. As it is now, it's pavement parking with a picnic benches and bathrooms. Clean and safe but boring. What was once a spectacular view area has been lost due to poor management.

Lovely quiet campground in January. Only about 10% occupied the weekend we visited. We couldn't find any good fishing spots without a boat, had to go up to a day use area for that. Boat ramp and dock were in great condition. Camp sites were fairly level and clean. Fire rings are well maintained.
